In the Sinnoh region, there are two Pokemon that symbolize the region. They appear in the Sinnoh reigon's myths and old folklore. One is called Dialga, and is said to have the power to control time. The other is called Palkia, who is said to have the ability to distort space. The sinister organization called Team Galaxy is trying to rule the region by utilizing these two Pokemon's power.

Rating: - Gift for my son
My son loves pokemon and already has the pearl version. So he is very happy to have the diamond version now!
Thank you
Rating: - A great game
I picked up this in part as a fan of the game franchise and in part as a companion to my daughters Pearl game. I have played every generation of this franchise and this is certainly the best. It makes great strides in advancing the series by reintroducing the night and day system and bringing back a plethora of Pokemon from Gold and Silver. I think the ability to catch pokemon from Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald and Fire Red, Leaf Green is a great idea.
While there are certainly still drawbacks as mentioned before the music is somewhat limited and the visuals do not make full use of the DS capabilities, though considering the grand scope of the game it is forgivable. In future iterations it would be nice to see a little improvement.
Overall the great gameplay and impressive number of catchable pokemon (over 450) make this one of the best pokemon games to date. The inclusion of the touch screen greatly increases playability and makes handling menus a breeze. Familiar and new gamers will find this game easy to pick up. As I said in the beginning of this review I have played every game in the franchise and can say this is easily the best yet.
I highly recommend this game to kids and and experienced gamers alike.
A+
Rating: - Son loves it
My son loves to play this game. Parents be aware...these games get lost/misplaced easily because of their small size.
Rating: - Boring.
In my opinion, I found this game VERY boring... I really don't like most of the new pokemon (i mean, have you seen Comby?! Come on!!!) and my favorite pokemon, munchlax, took WAY too much boring waiting to get. I was never a fan of the pokemon games anyway (with the exeption of the Mystery Dungeon games, i love those). All you do is go around battling pokemon and catching new ones. Training is boring, battling is boring, and putting so much waiting to find rare pokemon is just...... boring. And it was much too easy to catch pokemon... I cought the all-powerful legendary pokemon, Dialga (the pokemon on the cover of the game), with an ordinary pokeball. I'm not even kidding! I weakened it, then threw a pokeball... and it caught it. If you liked the old games of just wandering around catching pokemon, you will probably like this too, though.
Rating: - What I don't like about this game
My son has this game. These are his complaints. You can't catch Palkia in Diamond Version. He doesn't like how Mespirit and Cresselia can flee even if they are sleeping, paralized, etc. and if your Pokemon has arena trap for a pokepower. I guess the bad things don't out weigh the good things because he wants to play the game pretty often. And he really likes Dialga.
